with Bill Self, University of Kansas Head Basketball Coach;2008 NCAA Champions

The High/Low Offense is a great way to get the ball to every player on the court in every location on the court. In an energetic lecture-style setting, Bill Self breaks down the entire High/Low Offense. Self diagrams the basic format of this offense as well as the intricate details he has learned over his 12 seasons coaching it. Beginning in a 1-4 set, Coach Self breaks down every aspect of this offense including entries, options, and variations. He demonstrates the flexibility of the offense by showing how each position is interchangeable-players are not locked into a specific position. The High/Low Offense is hard to scout and can be utilized against any defense. This is a great DVD for learning to install or fine-tune the High Low Offense!

To help people out, there are two High/Low DVDs from Coach Self that are both very different. This one is just a chalk talk where he writes out and explains the whole offense on an overhead projector with no demonstrations with players, so if you need more visual clarity then you want the other one. This one however does have some teaching points explained that aren't in the other one along with a few ideas on how to mess around with the offense a little bit and start it in different ways. Overall though if you don't really have a clue on how to run it the other one is better if only because you can more clearly see it played out in real life.
